This wiki and other Redwall-themed wikis wouldn't even exist if he had never written the Redwall series and it saddens me greatly at this loss. Many of us would never have become writers or write about the things he wrote about. He was a great writer and rightfully stands beside some of the other well-known authors such as JRR Tolkien and CS Lewis. He wrote with humor, suspense, adventure. When reading one of his books you could actually believe in the happenings in the story. He was one writer who knew how to create characters that are alive. His legacy lives on through his characters even if no one continues the series, though I believe that all the books he has already done are enough and no one could ever fill his shoes. In all, he will be greatly mourned and missed and we have so much to thank him for. I am sad I never met him :(
